Major concern starting to pop up though. Even if you are locked in can you close? Operations in CA and PA have shutdown due to title companies not being able to close due to citizen restrictions and appraisers can't go out to the properties.


at least in Ca, the restrictions are mostly for retail businesses, and there are a ton of exceptions. One of which is for financial institutions, which is very broad.

He isn't wrong but the real problem is in the bond market.

These mortgage rates are complete bullshite right now.



I crunched the numbers and the difference in interest paid would be close to 100k over 30 years for the house we are buying.

Title companies are all open in CA and so are Recorder offices as they are considered essential

Same with notaries and appraisers. There may be a slow down but we are open

The main issue is lenders. UWM is in big trouble (biggest FHA and VA lender)

4 Non Qm lenders just went down today and everyone has raised rates from 4s to 6s just today. Huge Private Equity firm just went down also

This reminds me of 2008

In your opinion, are 15yr rates going to drop under 2.5%? Or is that somewhat of a floor?

Alright here’s a question because I’m dumb. My current rate is 3.75 on a 30yr and I locked in a 2.65 15yr last week. I asked my wife to do the math because she’s the smart one, but she’s been dragging her feet and I’m tired of asking her.

I owe 171k and been paying on this for 8 years.
New loan I would owe 178k for 15yrs.

I don’t know if I should take the loan or just pay the $300 extra a month that the new loan would be on my existing loan?

So if I’m understanding your question, you are paying $7k in closing costs?

If so, it might make sense to keep the current loan (for flexibility) and make extra payments.

If that’s your concern then just pay it off early.

Or don’t and take that extra money you are saving and invest it wisely.

Win-win
